SeigeI's
OPER A IN G
PILLS,
For Constipation,
Sluggish Liver, etc.

IT Mike many kinds Of cathartic
- medicines, do not make you
feel worse before you feel better.
Their operation is gentle, but thor
ough, and unattended with disagree
able effects, such as nausea, gripping
pains, &c.
Seigel's Operating Pills
are the best family physic that has
ever been discovered. They cleanse
the bowels from all irritating sub
stances, and leave them in a healthy
condition.
The best remedy extant for the
bane of our lives-constipation and
sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all
poisonous matter from the bowels.
They operate briskly, yet mildly,
without any pain.
If you take severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains
in the head, back and limbs, one or
two doses of Seigel's Operat-
ing Pills will break up the cold
and prevent fever.
A coated tongue, with brackish
taste, caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the
stomach, remove the bad taste, and
restore the appetite, and with it
bring good health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially
decayed food, causes sickness, maui
sea and diarrhna. If the bowels are
cleansed from this impurity with a
dose of Seigel's Operating
Pills, these disagreeable effects
will vanish, and good health result.
Seigel's Operating Pills
prevent ill-effects from excess in
eating or drinking. A good dose at
bedtime renders person fit for bust
ness in the morning.
These pills, being Sugar-coated,
are pleasant to take. The disagree
able taste common to most pills is
obviated.

WHY MARK TWAIN LEFT THE ARMY

WI "HHN tWHtN hLtt VIZ HhWis
At banquet of Union Veterans
in Baltimore recently Mark Twain
gave his war history as follows:
"When your secretary invited me
to this reunion of the Union Vete-
rams of Maryland he requested me
TO come prepared to clear up a
matter which he said had long been
a subject of dispute and bad blood
in war circles in this country-to
wit, the true dimensions of my mill
tary services in the Civil War, and
the effect which they had upon the
general result. l recognize the inn
portance of this thing to history,
and | have come prepared. Here
are the details. / was in the Civil
War two weeks. In that brief time
rose from private to second lieute-
nant. The monumental feature of
my campaign was the one battle
which my command Fought was
in the summer of 81. If l do say
it, it was the bloodiest battle ever
fought in human history; there is
nothing approaching it for destruc-
ton OF human life in the field, if you
take into consideration the forces
engaged and the proportion OF death
to survival. And yet you do not
even know the name of that battle.
Neither do /. 1t had name, but l
have forgotten it. 1t is no use to
keep private information which you
can't show off. In our battle there
were just fifteen men engaged on
our side-all acknowledgements but
me, and / was second lieutenant.
On the other side there was one
man. He was a stranger. We
killed him. II was night, and we
thought he was an army of observa-
ton; he looked like an army of oh
servation-in fact, he looked bigger
than an army of observation would
in the daytime; and some of us be-
lieved he was trying to surround us,
and some thought he was going to
turn our position, and so we shot
him. Poor fellow, he probably
wasn't an army of observation, after
all, but that wasn't our fault as l
say, he had all the look of it in that
dim light. 1t was a sorrowful cir
cumstance, but he took the chances
of war, and he drew the wrong
card he overestimated bis fighting
strength, and he suffered the likely
result; but he fell as the brave
should fall, with his face to the
front and feet to the field so we
buried him with the honors of war,
and took his things. So began and
ended the only battle in the history
of the world where the opposing
force was utterly exterminated,
swept from the face of the earth
to the last man. And yet you
don't know the name of that battle /;
you don't even know the name of
that man. Now, then, for the argu-
ment. suppose L had continued IN
the war, and gone on as | began,
and exterminated the opposing force
every time-every two weeks
where would your war have been?
Why, you see yourself, the conflict
would have been too one-sded.
There was but one honorable course
for me to pursue, and | pursued it.
| Withdrew to private life, and gave
the Union cause a chance. There,
now, you have the whole thing in
nutshell; it was not my presence in
the Civil War that determined that
tremendous contest; it was my re-
tirement from it that brought the
crash. 1t left the Confederate side
too weak. - Home News.

1t speaks we'll for the soundRess of
the core OF American life that there is
10 name in literature that Is more
cherished among Us by all classes and
ages than that of John Greenleaf Whit
tier. Mr.. Whittier will soon be eighty
years old, and every year his birthday,
which occurs on December IL, is oele-
brated more and more wid,ly through
out the whole country. He was born
Mt Haverhill, Mass. on Dec. II, 1908,
and is a defendant Of family belong
ing to the Society of Friends, with
which, Mr.. Whittier is also connected
On from which fact he has gained the
nome of The "Quaker Poet His
earlier years were spent on his fathers
farm and in the occupation Of q shoe
maker. A etrong desire for learning
Id him to the local academy for a two
years. course Of study, and in 1899 he
went to Boston and became the editor
Of the American Manufacturer, q pro-
,tective tariff publication. In 1880 he
editsl the New England Review, at
Hartford, Conn. from which place his
first literary efforts were sent out; but
In 1882 returned to HavArhill to edit
the Haverhill Gazette md work upon
his farm. He remained there till 1886,
being twice representative in the
Legislature OF the State. In 1886 he
became one of the Secretaries of the
Amerioan Anli-SIuvery Society. and
noon after removed to Philadelphia,
where he edited for four yenrs the
Pennsylvania Freeman, on anti.slaver,
paper. In 1910 he returned to Massa-
chusetts and settled at Amesbury, where
he has since resided, being for some
years corresponding editor Of the Ma
tional Erin, published 1t Washington.
From thmt time until now his life has
been devoted to literature and philnn-
tropy. His first venture, in u literary
way, was published in the Newbury
Free Press in 1926. He is prolific
writer, and his prose has been widely
cironl .t.d. He is thoroughly Ameri.
can poet, selecting the home subjects,
which 6nds weloolne in every heart,
and portraying with graphic word pic
lures the bright side Of human life. The
general impression Of Whittier is ONE Of
simplicity and quiet quaintness, yet, at
times, he bursts forth into "a FIRE and
energy which seems to spring from the
out pouring Of his soul in his ardor and
enthusiasm. As a representative Amori-
can p ret, he has no living rival In pop
